Pest control in Michigan follows the cold. Mice slip in at the first hard freeze through a sill, a garage door, or a cable hole. Cluster flies gather in sunny upper rooms. Carpenter ants want fascia and porch wood that ice keeps wet. Spring brings yard ants as soon as the soil softens. Name the insect or the droppings you actually see.
Empty cottages become a pantry. A closed house with a damp crawl and a wood pile on the skirt will not stay quiet until summer. The work that lasts is closing the opening, taking away the food, and drying the wood. A baseboard spray alone is a short pause. Say if you need animals sealed out or wet lumber looked at before it is covered.
Town houses share walls, alleys, and old basements, and mice use all three. Say whether trapping and closing holes are both in the work, and who returns if activity continues. Droppings in an attic should not be stirred through the living space. Ants in a kitchen can be a trail from a slow leak, so the wet wood or the wet pipe belongs in the story you tell.
Know what you saw and where. A line of ants on a sill is not wings in a spring swarm, and a night scratch in the ceiling is not a spider in the tub. Note sawdust, mud tubes, or grease marks along a sill. Do not fog the room before you call, because that scatters activity and hides the trail. Keep it plain: the pest, the room, and how long it has gone on.
Say the town and whether the house is lived in through winter. Northern camps and southern city blocks do not draw the same pests or the same timing. Call the number on this page.
